Summer in the city

My first week back in the city has flown by! I started a new internship at KCD and I love it. As a PR intern, my main responsibilities involve the showroom and maintaining the samples and sending them out to magazines, celebrities, etc. Everyday is kind of like a reality tv show.....lots of big personalities, but it keeps my long days interesting. Unfortunately it rained almost everyday last week, so no outfit pics. I promise they will come!
One of the perks of working in Chelsea is eating lunch in Chelsea Market every day! I'm quite drawn to the Lobster Place's salads and soups, but I just discovered a pie place! I've only tried the Thai chicken curry one but it was delish!

Friday night, I went to a surprise party for my friend Tina! It was at Butter, but we ate quite late, so I got an appetizer and a side instead of an entree. I got crab cakes with potato gnocchi. And I tried some of Melisa's duck, which was really really good.

After the party, I wasn't feeling very good, so I planned on relaxing this weekend. Instead, I ended up having a lot of fun on Saturday with my friends! First, I met up with Joe and Johnny in WSP where we watched light saber fights, and a gang of little kids on skate boards (they were actually very good). Then David and Gian called, inviting us to go to Shake Shack with Gian's family visiting from the Philippines. The line wasn't too bad, but while we were waiting for the food, a thunderstorm passed by, leaving David and I stranded in the middle of the park, while everyone else ran under the trees. Afterwards, Gian's dad took us to Big Gay Ice Cream shop where I got a cinnamax ice cream sandwich (cinnamon ice cream and snickerdoodles).

And then I ended the weekend with an afternoon of shoe shopping! I found lots of deals thanks to the Memorial Day sales. Not exactly the beach weekend I was hoping for, but super fun nevertheless.

the shoes I really, really wanted. but they did not have black.

A short stay at home

This year, I was able to go home for 10 days immediately after I finished finals, and before I started my new internship. I think it's really important to have some down time between major activities, such as school, internships, jobs, etc. I don't know how some of the interns finished school, and then started interning the following Monday!
The night before I left for home, my suitemate and I feasted (again) at Madison Sq Eats to celebrate the end of another school year. I definitely want to go back before it closes in early June. This time I got food from three different stalls: Bee Sting pizza from Roberta's Pizza, sugar cookie dough and tea time ice cream from Steve's and a nutella arancini from Arancini Bros. I would definitely recommend the pizza and the arancini (I want to go back and try a savory one!).

At home, my visit revolved around my sister, Laine's spring musical, which she starred in! She played Marcy Park in 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee. Lots of fun and surprises at every performance!
and lastly, (but perhaps most importantly?) I ate lots of food.

An ode to food.

It is the night before my last final of the year. I am so freaking excited for many things:

1. the end of another successful school year
2. to be done with science (after a rather painful two semesters) forever!
3. to be a senior
4. and finally, for summer and my super exciting internship!

Here are some lovely pictures of the things I have eaten in the past few weeks. When it comes to exams, I think food, sleep and tv are the best remedy.
